The Rat in the Hat is an unique enemy encountered in The Horrible Hunger of the Ravenous Wattle Gobbler DLC for Borderlands 2. His appearance is of the midget rat wearing a white uniform and no face mask.

Background

The Rat in the Hat does not spawn on his own. He hides inside Chef Gouda Remsay's hat and will reveal himself only when the hat gets blown off.

Appearances

Strategy

Although The Rat in the Hat has the appearance of a Midget Rat, it behaves like and uses phrases of a psycho in combat. He is 'armed' with a backpack full of fruits and vegetables which he flings at the enemy. These projectiles are damaging just as buzz-axes are. If within the range, he will lash out melee attacks which are surprisingly powerful coming from an enemy of that size. His small stature and erratic, quick movements makes him a very tricky target to hit. He is always equipped with a shield making him an even tougher opponent. Shotguns and incendiary weapons are best suited to quickly dispatch him.

Trivia

  • The name and spawning condition of the Rat in the Hat is a reference to the 2007 movie Ratatouille where a rat hides in the hat of a chef and controls the chef's movements by pulling his hair. The wording of the name is also a reference to the 1957 children book The Cat in the Hat.
